Given my experience of Wikipedia so far, this title comes across as trolling (sarcasm.) Thanks! I guess... Smoothswim (talk) 23:16, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip John! I will use it to sign. Although I'm not really intending to be around here much longer. The experience so far has been horrible. I was warned that there is a toxic community here but you seem OK :) Smoothswim (talk) 23:21, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 05:01, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- As another editor from MK, may I offer some friendly advice? That caution from The Management means please don't accuse other editors of vandalism or blindly revert what they have done. Wikipedia works by people having a go and accepting other editors' contributions and edits as being genuinely intended to improve the article. We don't WP:OWN the articles we create. If someone makes an edit you don't like, use the article talk page to debate it - perhaps the reason is that something wasn't clear and needed explaining better.. Wikipedia needs editors who contribute good new content (especially about Milton Keynes, but then I'm biased), anybody can tart it up. So please don't be discouraged! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 21:05, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The Buszy, lead section
Per WP:LEAD, the lead section should give a summary of the highlights or key points of the article. When you get a chance, you should write that.
How to other skate park articles resolve the "it's just a fanzine" criticism? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
